THE PERRYSBUM JOIMIE ... ( A Republican Newspaper- Successor to the " Fort Meigs Re veille," and " Perrysburg Star 5 VOL. 2. PERRYSBURG, WOOD COUNTY, OHIO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1855. NO. 41. The Republic of Andorre. Paris letters state that a project is in con templation to suppress the little Republic of Andorre, which, for more than a thou sand years has existed in all its original in tegrity among the Pyrenees mountains, which separate Fiance and Spain, and to divide the territory between its two most pcnvrful neighbors. Such a proceeding would be political sacrilege, and we trust that the ind'pendi nce of the State, which for fo long a period lias remained! a historical tuiiosiiy, like San Marino, in Italy, is not now to be wrested from it by the rude hands of violence. The name of the Andorre republic is pro bably fa miliar to but few of our readers. Comparatively insignificant in size, and commercial importance, and containing but ciht thousand inhabitants, it has never ex cit...

SrIn this paper we copy an able and in structive article upon the state of the cur rency, from the Cincinnati Gazette, and com mend its perusal to our readers. It shows the financial basis of the country to be in a much sounder and healthier condition than we had supposed, with a larger proportion of specie. We think there is one important mistake in the article the assertion that, because specie is always hoarded,' therefore it cannot b3Come the general circulating me dium. The reason why specie is hoarded, and therefore does not become the principal circulating medium, is obvious it is be...

324 The Financial Ability of the Country— The Financial Ability of the Country— Proportions of Money to Population. The problem of determining how much money is necessary to perform the exchanges of a given number of people has never been .solved. In fact, it never can be solved ; for it is not the. quantity so much as the quick ness of exchanges, which must be ascertain ed; and, in addition to that, the amount ex changed by barter. As locomotion in creases its rapidity, the quantity of money required to mako a given amount of pay ments in a country will obviously be less. Bui, on die other hand,. as the practice of oarier uiminisncs, tne amount ol money re quired is greater. The problem of determin ing the amount of currency necessary to perform the exchanges of the country is what mathematicians call indeterminate. But we may approximate it by comparisons between different -rountries and different periods in the same country. We can approximate it, for example, in our own country ...

332 The Greyhounds of Africa. Nothing evinces more the aristocratic tastes of the Arabs of Sahara than their treatment of the. greyhounds. Here, as in U other Arab countries, the common dog, whatever the utility of his employment in protecting the tents and flocks, is still re garded as a contemptible and troublesome servant a disagreeable necessity. The grey hound alone, as the companion of his chival rous pastimes, is treated by the Arab with affectionate attention and respect. While, therefore, the faithful watch-dog is driven forth from the tent, treated as a vulgar brute, and allowed to seek his food among the offal and bones that have been thrown out, the greyhound sleeps in the men's apartment, on a carpet heside his master, or even on his "bed. He is abundantly but carefully fed with koo-ltoos; and in the summer cakes are made for him of milk and stoned dates, which are said to be highly tonic. If a thorough-bred animal, he will never drink out of a dirty vessel, nor will he...
